The troubling part of all our last three games was a complete lack of response to getting hit in the mouth. It was especially noticeable in the WVU game, of course, but we did not buckle down when Winthrop mounted their comeback, and we did not adjust to FSU.
Temple showed what a proper response is when WVU came back, even though it was close, they battled and held on.
I want to see us either get a lead and push to keep or extend it, our keep battling when we fall behind. We start to look desperate and/or defeated when other teams get momentum.
I hope we turn this around in our remaining non-conference games. Even if we end up losing five non-conference, as has been suggested, if we look like we are starting to gel, and we are battling every game, I will keep hope alive.
I hope to see that turnaround tonight; we can beat NC State. I think we could have beaten anyone except WVU.
